The HD4770 is only slightly less powerful than an HD4850. Compared to an HD5750 it probably lags behind in performance %20-30. Considering the card is currently about $50 more expensive than the HD4770 and will require a new PSU while an HD4770 wouldn't we are talking about over twice the price for a %20-30 increase in performance. Maybe you consider that "totally worth it" but I sure don't and I doubt many other people would either.
As for the crysis benchmarks whatever. If you want to spend over twice the money to max out the settings in one game then be my guest but at that resolution an HD4770 would be great for every other game. AsAnAtheist is entirely wrong about an HD4770 not being able to handle AA or "depth distance" at 1280x1024. The only scenario that will give that card any problems at that resolution is a maxed out Crysis. Crysis was released two years ago now and there's still no game that's more demanding and there aren't reports of any game that will top in the foreseeable future. The game is also quite cpu intensive so I'm not certain if the HD4770 would be the limiting factor in that situation in any case.
